I really liked your writing! It was awesome. Whenever I describe characters facial appearances, it seems really stunted because I can find absolutely no way to tie it in to the rest of the story.
So, I'm trying to think of a good name for the main character, but here's my issue: I've got absolutely no clue what she looks like or acts like, other than that she's naturally curious, which you can see from your excerpt of the story. I tried to think of some not-too-unusual, somewhat-girly names, and here's what I got:MarissaAlyssaQuinnLynnDellaHaleyAubreyAnastasiaMaraKlioChloeZoeyArabellaIsabellaMirabelleCassandraCamillaAdrianaMckenzieSabrina

“I read books when I was a kid, lots of books. Books always seemed like magic to me. They took you to the most amazing places. When I got older, I realized I couldn't find books that took me to all the places I wanted to go. To go to those places, I had to write some books myself.”
